Power of the English Press, He Says, Due to Anonymity. Emile Zola, the French novelist, who is visiting London, delivered an address at a meeting yesterday of the Institute of Jour- nalists, held at the Mansion House, the official residence of the lord mayor of Lon- don. The subject of his address was “Anony- mity in Journalism.” He sald, among other things, that the British press owed its power and. unquestionable authority to anonymity. Politically the British news- paper existed only to satisfy the opinion of its own party. It had been thus snade by a public which bad not been broken into fragments by a revolution. It was differ- ent In France, where the fever of individu- ality carried away everything. The French were always seeking a messiah, and in- dulged in ecstasies of devotion to the new god of the moment. Speaking of the claim made in some quarters that the signing of articles in newspapers insured their success, M. Zola said that he was well aware of the evils of @ system that had destroyed the authority of the press, completed the destruction of parties, and which often descended to a mere personal brawl. The spectacle pre- sented wus sometimes heaicrending. It must, he declared, convey a frightful tm- pression abroad. Probably, anonymity would restore honesty and ‘disinterested- ness, but the existing system produced a splendid expenditure of courage und ideas, which yielded light for all. It was a march toward the future at a breakneck gallop, leading, perchance, to a new world. He could not blame the French press, since it held out the hope of & better society, based upon justice and labor. : Ae Zola strongly and adversely criticised anonymity in literary and artistic sircles, which, he said, endangered the intellectual vitality of the nation, and was likely to a mediocre and colorless Hterature. impossible to approve of a man able to wield a pen who was converted into @ mere writing machine. +o0 LONG RAYS OF LIGHT.

The United States light house board has light house to be erected off the coast of Prittany, which will oe a remarkable in- stance of the hich point to which the scten- tifle development in the matter of reaching Ifghts has been carried. The light house will be built on Penmarch Point, and will be known as the Eckmuhl light house. It will contain an eiectric light of 40,000,000 candle power, casting a beam which can be seen a distance in clear weather of sixty-three miles, and in forxy weather a distance of twenty-one miles. The highest order of lignt now in opera- tion in the United States tight house ser- vice can be seen only twenty-one miles in clear weather.

The facade will be broken at the | corner with a bold square tower, measuring ;at its base 14 feet square and attaining a height of 116 feet. The walls will be faced with Maryland marble in broken range work. The arches will be dressed off and finished with molded architraves. The en- ‘trance to the church will be through three ;Wide and spacious arched openings, ap- proached by a wide and easy flight of ten stone steps, finished on elther side with carved and molded spandrels. A feature of the front will be the circular corner, cov- [ered with a slated roof, which will inclose the baptismal font. The interior of the building will “be finished with a. grained celling, supported by ornamental columns of Gothic design. Now St. Cyprian. Cardinal Gibbons has changed the name of the new parish previously known as St. Benedict's to that of St. Cyprian. The change was made because the parish had not been officially named, and to carry out the desire of the cardinal to bring forward the names of the early fathers of the church. Ee MAYOR TROUT’S STATEMENT. Something Had to Be Done to Restrain the Roanoke Mob and He Did It. Mayor H. S. Trout of Roanoke, who had charge of the military and took such a con- spicuous part in attempting to defend the jail at Roanoke from the mob Wednesday night, gave a Lynchburg reporter this ver- sion of that affair: “I was called early in the ‘evening and went to the jail. Soon after arriving there I felt, from the ex- cited condition of the crowd, that it was necessary for me to call out the military of the city, and immediately I did so. The jail was surrounded on three sides, and I stationed the soldiery at the best point to command the approaches to the building. With fifteen of the young men, who were nothing but boys, I took command in front of the jail, where the thickest of the mob, was congregated. The military were being Jeered at by the crowd and I asked Messrs. Watts and Woods to address the mob. “This was about 7:30 o'clock in the even- ing, and they addressed them with such effect that the men soon began to waver, and I saw that they were going to disperse and go to their homes. Just at this time 4 hundred country people appeared on the scene from the neighborhood in which the woman lived who had been assaulted, and the excitement was again in a fever heat. Again they surged around me. “I pleaded with them and begged them to go to their homes. Recognizing some of the men in the crowd I spoke to them by name and implored them to do nothing rash. The excitement grew, and finully some one in the crowd yelled ‘Push the mayor back,’ and at the same time two or three shots were fired from the rear of the crowd and the mob began to crowd me. Still I hesitated to do anything, and It was not until I was pushed back to the line of bayonets almost that I gave the command to fire. The fire was returned by the mob and I was shot in the foot by @ man in plain sight not five feet away from me. He was armed with a 38-caliber revolver.I saw him when the shot was fired and I could have killed him, for I had a loaded pistol in my hand, but I did not fire at him nor did I discharge the weapon during the entire riot, and it is here, as it was vefore I left home, with every chamber ioaded. “The second fire from the military was very effective and resulted in driving the mob back. The excitement having sub- sided in a measure I sent the military to their homes and retired to the Ponce De Leon Hotel, where I remained until last night, when I boarded a special train ten- dered by the Norfolk and Western Rail- road Company and came to this place. I deplore deeply the fact that so many inno- cent men lost their lives, but I do not know how any one could have acted differ- ently in my position. Something had to be done to meet the exigency of the ovca- sion, and I pursued the only course left me to maintain the law which I have sworn to support.”” Mr. Trout would not say anything more on the subject. He had spent a day and a night without sleep and was very nervous and excited. He was then suffering very much from the wound in his foot, but jevertheless spoke concisely and clearly of the affair. Explosion of Natural Gas. Natural gag accumulated in the joint cel- lar under the establishments of C. C. Pot- ter, druggist, and: Jones & Berry, grocers, fronting the state blind institute at Indiana- polls, Thursday night, and a boy with a match caused an explosion, which ruined the grocery and damaged the drug store to the extent of $1,200. Jones & Berry lost $1,000. Wm. Schultz was badly burned. Dr. Potter was hurled against a wall and severely bruised, and Minnie Purcell, col- ored, who sprang from a second-floor win- dow, through fright, had a leg broken. Sev- eral parties were hurt by flying debris. ae Young Cornelius Vanderbilt was thrown from his horse while fox hunting near Newport, R. 1, on Wednesday. He was unconscious for a long time, but i# declared not to be seriously injured, JUMPING FROM A TRAIN. A Locomotive Engincer Relates His Varied Experience. From the Detroit Free Press. “Did you ever jump from your cab while the train was going at full speed?” I asked of a locomotive engineer the other day. “Yes, three or four times,” he answered. “What's the sensation?” “That's according to how you land. One night three years ago the train dispatcher got two of us headed for each other on @ single track at a gait of forty miles an hour. The first thing I saw was the head- light of the other locomotive rounding a curve thirty rods away. I shut "er ~off, threw over the lever and set the alr brakes, and then made a jump. I'd no time to pick for a spot, and as I jumped I realized that I'd have a bad time of it, as I knew every foot of the ground. It was.on a level cov- ered with @ thistle patch. There was a strip of them forty rods long growing up like cornstalks. I expect they broke my fall somewhat, but I don’t know that I ever hit the ground until I fetched up fur good. It seemed to me that I just swept through that patch about knee-high from the ground, and when there were no more this- tles to’ knock down I landed ‘kerchug! against an old stump and uprooted it. I broke a leg and an arm, but that wasn’t the worst of it. The doctor estimated the number of thistle points sticking into my body at one billion. My wife and I have been picking ‘em out ever since they got me home, and we've only finished one side of me. “Landing in a m2ud puddle would be a soft thing,” I suggested. “I've been there” he replied, with a fleeting ‘smile, “While I. was running freight they built a side track to a gravel pit at a certain point. In exca’ ting at the main line they dug a hole about twenty feet long by ten wide and four deep. As a rule this hole was always full of water, and as it was on my side of the engine and always come under my eye, I got to thinking what a snap I'd have if I had to make 8 jump right there.” “But you never had to.” ‘Didn't 1? There was a lttle station just a mile above this hole, and it was a sharp upgrade. One day, while we were humping along to make the station, a dozen cars broke loose from a freight side tracking at that station, and down they came, like so many roaring lions after thelr ‘prey. By the time I had whistled for brakes and reversed my engine, it was time to jump, and bless my soul! if T wasn't just where I wanted to be—right at the pond. I waited to pass the mile post and then shut my eyes and took a header, feeling sorry at the same instant for my fireman, who'd got. to jump among the stumps, Well, T_struck.”” “In the water?” I asked, as he paused and worked a finger in his ear. “Oh, no! There had been a long spelf of hot, dry weather, and every pint of water had, evaporated out of that pond. "The rud was left behind, though. There was three feet of it waiting to catch some sucker, and it caught me. I went head first to the bottom. Then i rolled over and floundered around for five minutes, and could never have ‘pulled myself out ‘uni sisted. I didn’t break any bones, but—ugh?” at?" ‘Mud: T took twenty-seven baths before I got down so I could see my hide, and it was hours before mud quit washing out of my ears, eves, nose and mouth. T. tasted mud. T 'felt_mud crawling up and down my back. I snuffed mud. T found mud in my pockets and combed it out of my hair until I got tired and let the balance go. I'm running on the road yet. but I'm not spotting off any mud holes to land in. On the contrary, if things turn out as 1 have figured, my next. jump will be into a patch of blackberry bushes, with an old dead tree in the center, and I confidently expect to mow down everything in’ my. path.

RETURN OF SOCIETY FOR THE WINTER Autumn Marriages and Other Items of Interest. OUTLOOK FOR THE SEASON. Familiar faces meet the dally prone enaders at every turn nowadays, and the uptown streets begin to take on a much livelier appearance. Society has got back to town, although for many it only amounts to a break in the journey long enough to rest and repack for Chicago or some other land of the fdeal. In very large numbers society has not yet come back to stay for good and from all ac- counts will not for another month. Still there are enough familiar faces on the streets, at the clubs, at the dressmakers’ and at the theaters to put new life in the social current and gives the stay-at-homes something fresh to talk about. One problem that everybody is answering according to his @wn lights is whether or not Washington is going to be gay the coming winter. Judging from past ex- perlences this city is never unduly festive the first winter after the induction of a new administration. Therefore there is no Good reason why those holding high places now should do anything different from the established law of their predecessors. By the first of January, however, the feeling of strangeness will’ be fast disappearing and the dinners, receptions, &c., am the cabinet families will go forward, just the same as if they were not neariy all hostesses entirely new to official life and its demands. ‘There probably never before was a group of cabinet ladies who go thor- oughly appreciated what their position re- quired, and had better intentions of carry- ing it all out to the best of their ability. It has become apparent, however, in the record of the past few years that a winter of elegant entertaining in this city does not by any manner of means depend on the official side of society. Florists, caterers and other business people who aro indis- ponmaple adjuncts to successful entertal ing did a splendid trade last winter, al- though the family of the President and ef others prominent in the official world were in the deepest bereavement. It is the resi- dent families, and especially those among the later comers, who carry the burden of entertaining, as ‘it is understood in other cities, and it is among such circies that those wHose business it 1s to provide the luxuries of life find their best patrons. It 1s hard to tell at this juncture whether the hard times will have any appreciable effect on the social outlook here or whether it need be mentioned at all in that con- nection. There may be a few ndticeale in- stances of shortened incomes and conse- quent changes in the winter's program, but these people have done more than their share heretofore, and that should be re- membered to thelr credit. It must greatly increase the pleasure of Secretary and Mrs. Lamont to know that their residence on Lafayette square was built and first occupied by a_stanch old democratic leader, Mr. Thomas Ritchie, bet- ter known as “Father Ritchie.” The house and its history commenced in 18. In that year Mr. Ritchie removed from Richmond, by request of President Polk, to this city, to become the editor of the newspaper or- gan of the administration. A year later his family joined him, and, his house being too small for them, he sought more ample accommodations. Just at that time Mr. Thomas Corcoran, brother of W. W. Cor- coran, died, just after commencing the erection of ‘a’mansion next door to the home of his brother. The house was offer for sale in its unfinished condition, an4 bought by Mr. Ritchie, who at once ket to work to finish it, and then moved there. The Ritchie house was famous for its hos- pitalities, and no more handsome enter- tainments were given anywhere than by this warm-hearted Virginia zentleman. After his death in 1858 his family went back to Virginia to live, and the mansion was leased by Mr. Slidell, and beeame his home for the next six years. Following this oc- cupancy was that of Mr. Welles, Secretary of the Navy. Later Mr. Corcoran bought the property back again, and in late years it has had many tenants. The house has the flavor of the old-fashioned ‘lemocracy about it, and it comes around very fittingly that it should have been selected to be again the home af orfe so prominent in that party. Mrs. Perrine has had a charming visit to the White House. Every moment that she could be spared from the sick room she has accepted the many courtesies extended to her by the ladies of the cabinet and other friends. She has had a great many calls made upon her, and altogether has bad every opportunity to meet her old ac- quaintances. It has been generally re- marked that Mrs, Perrine grows more handsome every time she returns here. Her charm of manner is as unfaiting as ever, and, naturally, were she not well endowed with all other graces of mind and person, this would be all sufficient. Mr. and Mrs. Perrine have lately finished an elegant new home for themselves in Buffalo, in which they have just commenced to feel comfort- ably settled. Mrs. Perrine will remain here for some time longer, and will return again for a much longer ‘visit during the coming winter. On Wednesday Mrs. “3is- sell had two or three of the cabinet circle to meet Mrs. Perrine at tuncheon, and on Thursday Mrs. Gresham was the hostess of a similar gathering. ‘There is no doubt that we have had a shy at many a swell foreigner during the past six months, but with the coming of the Austrian crown prince, who, by the Miss Blanche V.

The Sand Case of a Young Mother; Who Gives Up Her Children. A sad case was brought to light in thé’ Police Court this morning by Agent Lewis of the board of children’s guardians, who was ready to take charge of three smal) children who were in court with their moth- er, Mrs. Palmer, who lives on 41-2 street southwest. The ‘latter got on the stand and told Judge Miller that she was twenty- five years old; that she was married seven years ago and was the mother of four children, the oldest six years old and the yongest about twelve months. She carried in her arms the youngest child and while she rehearsed the story of her domestic troubles the child was amusing itself mak- ing am effort to talk. Two other children stood at the rail about the clerk’s desk, but they were too young to appreciate the sadness of the story related by their mother. The names of the children in the informa- tion were given as Samuel C. Palmer, Mauf- ice Palmer and Walter Palmer. Mrs. Pal- mer told the court that her husband was a painter, but she said he had been drinking and now he had deserted her. “My husband not had any work for some time before he left me,” said the woman. : “If he's a good painter he ought to be able to get work,” the judge remarked. “He didn't want work,” Interrupted a neighbor, who was in court as a witness. Mrs. Palmer said she had sold almost everything she had in the house in order to support her children. “I can’t go out to work and take care of my children too,” she said. “Can you get work now?” ‘Yes, sir.” How much can you earn?” ‘Four dollars a week.” She said that one of her children had been taken by one of her neighbors. Judge Miller said it was certainly a sad sight to see a young mother compelled to part with her children and asked Mrs. Pal- mer if she understood that she was releas- ing her claim to the children. She replied that she did and said she could do no better under the circumstances. The court then made an order turning the children over to the board of children’s guardians, and Agent Lewis took charge of them, oe The Alert at "Frisco. The U. S. S.
